It is built for small tropical terrariums — arboreal setups up to about 45cm tall, or terrestrial ones up to about 50cm long. Beyond that the output does not spread far enough, and a linear T5 HO tube is the better answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5% UVB, 30% UVA\u003c\/strong\u003e — for tropical reptiles and amphibians.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard screw base\u003c\/strong\u003e — fits ordinary dome and clamp fixtures; can be mounted vertically or horizontally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-ballasted\u003c\/strong\u003e — no separate ballast required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUVB-transmitting quartz glass.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistance and replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUV Index runs roughly 2.6–3.5+ at 8–10cm and 0.4–0.7 at 20–25cm.
